Instructions

Stir together strawberries, balsamic vinegar, light brown sugar, and black pepper. Let stand 15 minutes. Stir in basil and mint. Season to taste with additional black pepper. Serve!

Serving ideas

Dip with your favorite crackers or pita chips.
Top grilled chicken, steak, or fish.
Make crostini: spread slices of toasted baguette with mascarpone cheese and top with a dollop of strawberry balsamic salsa. If desired, sweeten mascarpone with a bit of honey (stir in about 1 tablespoon to a cup of cheese, to taste).
Make shortcakes: Layer lightly-sweetened whipped cream and strawberry balsamic salsa onto your favorite biscuits!

Notes

The amount of brown sugar you use will depend on how sweet your berries are. I've had to go up to 3 tablespoons of sugar when I've gotten tart berries. Taste your strawberries before preparing the salsa and adjust as needed.
